*** OFFICIAL *** rap super group draft (1 Viewer)

[SacramentoBob]

Gonna need at least 10 people for this, but we can expand to accommodate more. The rules are simple. You are creating a rap super group. You need to draft 5 rappers and 2 producers. Each pick is an individual. You can't pick Gang Starr and get Guru and Premier together. You can't draft the Ummah and get Q-Tip and Jay Dee as producers. Since a lot of rappers are known to go both ways (no fancy), specify whether you are drafting that person as a MC or producer, even if it's obvious e.g. Notorious B.I.G., MC. If Q-Tip is taken as a rapper, he is still eligible to be taken as a producer by someone else.

[Major]

I'm in.....

count Grateful Zed in as well. He loves hip hop. It leaves him cold.

 

[Eephus]

needs a Hype Man category

 

[SacramentoBob]

needs a Hype Man category

I actually thought about doing this. Maybe a flex hype man/weed carrier category.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I like this idea.

 

[Yenrub]

Sure why not?

 

[Usual21]

Definitely in.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

IN

 

[Arizona Ron]

Flex a "hook" person category.

 

[Kev4029]

I don't think I'll have the time in the upcoming weeks, but I'll be checking in from time to time. I think the hype man thing is a waste though, how many recognizable hype men have there been?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

we need more positions to bring in some VBD principles to the draft.

white MC

female MC

east coast

west coast

etc.

 

[Eephus]

Best sample

 

[Podcast]

Kwame still on the board?

 

[Kev4029]

Maybe 80s, 90s, 00s and two flex?

 

[Arizona Ron]

Maybe 80s, 90s, 00s and two flex?

I don't think using years to make a 'super group' makes sense. What do you do with a guy like JayZ? Draft him twice?

 

[Professor S]

IN. IN. IN.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Agree with no years.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Record label?

 

[PinkydaPimp]

In

 

[Steve Tasker]

Would be interested in teaming up with someone. I don't have the availability to do one of these by myself.

 

[Major]

Flex a "hook" person category.

I kind of like this idea. Maybe a Flex position for a guest appearance MC - guy that can't carry an album but is great for a verse.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Flex a "hook" person category.

I kind of like this idea. Maybe a Flex position for a guest appearance MC - guy that can't carry an album but is great for a verse.

Was thinking about a Cee lo , Sting, female singer etc non-rapper kind of person for this slot.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Record label?

Team Owner = Label. IMO

 

[SacramentoBob]

Flex a "hook" person category.

I kind of like this idea. Maybe a Flex position for a guest appearance MC - guy that can't carry an album but is great for a verse.

Tekitha or Blue Raspberry?

Where would you put Nate Dogg? His albums were pretty weak but he was fantastic on other tracks.

Tekitha or Blue Raspberry?

Best song singing the hook, Tekitha (Walking Through the Darkness). Best overall total body of work, Blue Raspberry

He's in the hook flex spot. Might be 1 in that flex spot depending on the rest of the group makeup (e.g.if my MCs are Nas, Prodigy, Gangstarr I don't think Nate Dogg is a good fit).

 

[PinkydaPimp]

how long are we going to have between picks? id prefer 24 hrs just because my schedule is a bit crazy this time of year and i cant post from my phone.

ALso, im confused about the drafting of groups. If i grab gangstar, are you saying that guru and premier could still be drafted?

 

[grateful zed]

it's chilly in here

 

[wbaaoz]

I would love to participate. Sign me up!

 

[bonesman]

I would destroy this... sad part is... you probably wouldn't even realize it.

 

[wbaaoz]

I think if you wanted to add a FLEX category it could definitely be a wild-card type category that would include hype men and hook singers. It would then be up to each "GM" to figure out what exact conglomerate would they want for their supergroup. I also think coming up with a good criteria for the end product would be essential. Even though it will always be subjective, things like cohesiveness, eclecticism, influence and creativity should play a role in the evaluation process.

 

[eakfootball]

Would like in. Hoping it could be a long clock though.

 

[FDASv2.0]

I would destroy this... sad part is... you probably wouldn't even realize it.

I'm way to suburban for this draft, but can't wait to follow along.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Just saw this, can we take this to 12? Id be willing to team up with Tasker as we seem to have somewhat similar music interests from previous drafts if need be.

ETA: Being in the Hip Hop Album Draft should be an automatic golden ticket

 

[Big_Russel]

Watching you white boys #### this up is going to be pure comedy gold!!!

PE!!!!!!! No, no, no, ATCQ!!!!!

Half the people in this aren't white anyway.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Consider me an alternate. Please

How about you pair up with Tasker?

 

[SacramentoBob]

Anyone who drafts Sage Francis or Aesop Rock is immediately booted from the draft.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Me/Kenny Powers/Tony Jabroni dream team?
